Upload scanned images (PNG, JPEG, WebP), run OCR locally with Tesseract, and export a searchable PDF with an invisible text layer — find and copy text with Ctrl+F in any PDF reader.

How it works

1. Upload — Add scanned image files. Each image becomes one page of the output PDF.
2. OCR — Tesseract.js reads each image and extracts word-level text with bounding boxes.
3. PDF — pdf-lib builds a PDF where the image is the visible background and OCR text is placed invisibly on top.
4. Search — Open the PDF in any reader and use Ctrl+F / ⌘F to search through the recognized text.
